Chapter 489 - 489:I Lied to You



The bystanders, upon catching wind of their conversation, discovered that the beggar granny had injuries on her stomach, inflicted by an attack from a mystical beast.

Thinking about the trail of blood she had left behind, it all made sense.

However, the severity of her wounds had been completely healed in just a quarter of an hour!

“Although Granny is not in pain now, in a few hours, after the acupuncture’s effects wear off, the pain will return. Additionally, Granny’s wound has not completely healed and is prone to reopening, so it’s not advisable to move around. Granny, where do you live? i’ll have someone take you back, and i’ll also give you some medicine from the Hundred Herb Hall.”

This made much more sense!

Recovering so quickly in such a short time was probably only achievable by immortals.

The two beggars didn’t want to trouble Gu Xiaonan, but he said earnestly, “Why would it be a bother? Granny, you’re my patient, and until you’re fully healed, I’m responsible for your well-being. I’ll arrange for someone to take you back and also accompany you to Hundred Herb Hall to get medicine.”

He noticed that the beggar’s old man’s clothes were tattered and stained with blood, so he ordered someone to fetch a set of new clothes for him and handed them over. He also gave them a silver ingot.

The beggar couple refused, saying, “Young physician, you’ve already saved my wife for free. We can’t accept so much from you.”

“Granny is weak, and she needs to nourish herself. With silver coins, you can buy meat and supplements, which will help her recover faster.” Gu Xiaonan insisted as he pressed the silver coins into the beggar’s hand. During their dispute, their hands inevitably touched, but he didn’t mind the beggar’s old man’s dirty hands at all.

Touched by his gesture, the beggar couple’s eyes welled up with tears.

“Little Divine Doctor, you are truly kind-hearted. In the future, we will pray for your well-being and hope you will live a life free from worries.”

They couldn’t offer much in return, but they expressed their gratitude with sincerity.

Gu Xiaonan smiled charmingly. “I also wish you both a long and healthy life, free from illness or misfortune.”

Afterward, he arranged for someone to escort them away. He still had many patients waiting for him.

From start to finish, everything was handled perfectly, leaving the people around in awe.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that such a young child could be so organized and capable.

Words of praise showered down like snowflakes, commending not only Gu Xiaonan’s extraordinary talent and medical skills but also his admirable character.

Despite his tender age, he possessed a heart dedicated to helping others, and what was even more remarkable was that he applied this benevolence where it was most needed.

“As the saying goes, ‘Like father, like son.’ The Guardian Princess has truly raised Young Master Xiaonan well.”

“All, ah, ah, Young Master Xiaonan is really amazing! I wish I could steal him and raise him as my own!”

“I suddenly envy the Guardian Princess. If I had a son like this, 1 would wake up with a smile in my dreams.”

While everyone was filled with excitement, Gu Xiaonan had dutifully returned to his designated seat, ready to attend to the next patient.

With the Jun Residence’s guards maintaining order and Gu Qingluan’s imposing presence, everyone queued up willingly. The spectators felt that one great performance after another was unfolding before their eyes, lifting their spirits. As a result, there were no disruptions or tantrums.

After ensuring that Xiaonan could handle the situation, Gu Qingluan went to check on Yuanxi.

Distributing porridge might be a straightforward task, but for those who were suffering from hunger, it held extraordinary significance.

Those who received the porridge stood nearby to eat. A warm bowl of porridge in the winter warmed not just the stomach but the entire body, bringing immense comfort.

In addition to the hot porridge, there were steamed buns with thin skin and a generous filling. Those who finished their food and still felt hungry could join the line for more.

The faces of these people were filled with happy contentment.

Yuanxi personally ladled out the porridge, working up a sweat but with sparkling eyes that seemed to hold the brilliance of stars. He clearly enjoyed this labor.

Watching this scene, a subtle smile tugged at the corners of Gu Qingluan’s mouth.

“You have raised Yuanxi very well too,” Gu Qingluan said to Feng Tianlan, responding to his earlier comment.

Feng Tianlan turned his gaze toward her and replied, “He is even better when he’s with you.”

Gu Qingluan’s heart felt like it had been lightly touched by a feather, and her eyes shimmered with faint ripples. She whispered softly, “Feng Tianlan, I actually lied to you before..”
